Hope for Heroes
According to Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief charity, one in every five food bank households contains a Veteran. Hope for Heroes is a Community Harvest Food Bank program designed to help Veterans and military families in need. Since 2016, this program has made it possible for eligible participants to receive twelve months of groceries supplied by the Community Cupboard pantry at Community Harvest Food Bank.
Each month, participants will choose 100 pounds (temporarily 50 pounds as of 4/29/24) of nutritious foods (enough to fill a large grocery cart) while they get back on their feet and regain stability. Community Harvest is proud to serve our heroes and has partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other organizations that will refer veterans and military families in need of assistance.
